lican party, to direct aud interest in
politics those who have been hereto
fore more or less Indifferent to their
political duties; clubs that will keep
up an interest and discussion during
off years, ever watchful of the other
political parties, and whose members
attend primary meetings i'm order
that honest and capable men may
be nominated; to guard and defend
the purity of tie ballot box; to re.
commend and endorse candidates
for public Office, and to promote the
cause of good government and such
other work as may concern the in
terests of the Republican party"
The New York Republicans have
an active and vigorous club, and
under its auspices National meet
ing, in which all the clubs in the
country will be represented, will be
held in New York Dec. Is, l6 and
II next.
The primary object in holding
this convention is to consider the
propriety of organizing, in the varl-
GUS states of the Union, a large
number of Republican clubs, and to
determine the best manner of con-
! Quoting their work; also to devise
some system that will conduce to the
efficient cooperation of these clubs
in state and national politics.
We agree with the originators Of
the scheme, that this work, if prop
erly carried out, will lead to in
creased party efficiency, to an in
telligent comprehension among thu
masses of the living questions before
the country, and to Il degree of or
ganization hitherto unknown in til,
history of any political party. Til,
idea is worthy Of general adoption
among our party friends, and W
hope that our Vermont Republican
will not be laggards in this work
In no other way can the best interest
of the party be so well subseryed.

Enjoy life.

What a truly beautiful world we
live in Nature gives us grandeur of
mountains, glens and oceans and
thousands of means of enjoyment. We
can desire no better when in perfect
health; but how often do the majority
of people feel like giving up disheart-
ened, discouraged and worn out with
disease, when there is no occasion for
this feeling, as every sufferer can easily
obtain satisfactory proof, that Green S
August Flower, will make them free
from disease, as when born. Dyspep-
STA and Liver Complaint are the direct
cause of seventy-fve per cent of such
maladies as Biliousness, Indigestion,
Sick Headache, Costiveness. Nervous
Prostration, Dizziness of the Head.
Palpitation of the Heart, aud other
distressing symptoms. Three doses Of
August Flower will prove its wonder
full effect. Sample bottles, 10 cent?,

The execution last Friday of four
of the anarchists and the scarcely
less terrible punishment of imprison-
ment for life Of the two others, was
dreadful necessity. No society
can tolerate men who are intent on
its destruction. Self-preservation is
society's as we'll as natures first law,
and self-preservation requires that
men who disregard society's Statutory
restraints and safeguards, and who
endeavor by force to bring about
the reign of disorder and disorgani-
cation shall be made examples of
and put out of the way of doing
harm. Taking life is The most pain
full duty that society has to perform,
but no way has yet been found of
dispensing with capital punishment
with SAFETY. 1t is sincerely to be
hoped that the anarchists of this
and other countries will take warn
ing by the fate of those who were
hanged last week, for they may be
sure that if they continue plotting
against the welfare of society and
endeavoring to carry out their prin-
ciples with dynamite and rife, the
execution is but the precursor OF
many others. The great mass Of
the people Of all we'll governed coun'
tries are law abiding. They want
to live in peace and safety, and they
will not fail to punish those who
persistently set the laws at defiance
who endanger their lives and who
make property less secure.

letters is also very large, some IA, 900
having been exchanged in a year,
and each letter has to be recorded
four times. These figures are ex-
elusive of the local business. On an
average twelve mails are sent out
and received every day, and an ac-
count kept of all mail bags sent to
and received from Canada. The
office has to be open from a. m. to
9p. IN, sixteen hours per day! the
pay for which is regulated by com
mission, and not at all commensurate
with the work required to be ner-
formed, amounting to about one-half
what is paid at many Offices through
out the county where the clerical
labor is considerably less. We hope
Congress at its approaching session
will take this matter in hand, and
give the postmasters Il fair and just
compensation for their labor. Uncle
Sam is abundantly able to do it, and
there is absolutely no reason why
he should not.

BE THANKFUL.

Next Thursday is the great house.
hold festival Of the people-Thanks-
giving Day-the only religious holi-
day, save Christmas, that has State
and National recognition, and gen.
orally the occasion in which the
widely separated members of the
household love to meet again around
the old hearthstone, completing as
far as possible the family circle, and
celebrate the day in fitting man
ner, and with thankful hearts, But
this is not the only reason for us to
be thankful. We have enjoyed a
year of peace and prosperity, and
of health and comfort; war, pesti-
lence and famine, with all their
contingent evils have rot invaded
our shores, and blessings have been
heaped upon US as nation and as a
people. 1t is for these that we should
be thankful. We are too apt to
forget this if our goods have not
increased an hundred fold, or be-
cause of personal troubles and trials.
But let us look at the matter in a
charitable light. Surely our bless
ings Of peace, security and material
prosperity never called upon us more
loudly than now to recognize the
Author of these gifts by our humble
gratitude.
